Relationship Between Stink Bug Populations in Winter Shelters and Atmospheric Variables in Soybean Growing Areas in Southern Brazil
Stink bugs (Pentatomidae) are among the main entomological problems in the international farming. Their ability in using alternative plants (refuges) during the off-season is one of the reasons that led them t...

Coccinellidae Parasitoids in Brazil: Neglected Species in a Mega-Diverse Country
Current knowledge on coccinellids is primarily focused on their role as natural enemies of soft-bodied insects. However, there is a great diversity of coccinellid parasitoid species that are less studied. Here...

Cytokine Treatment of Radiation-Induced Hemopoietic Suppression: Results of Interleukin-6 and Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor in a Murine Radiation Model
Following accidental radiation exposure or intensive radiotherapy severe hemopoietic depression often results from damage to hemopoietic stem and progenitor cell populations. The major risks of mortality follo...

Synergy between G-CSF and WR-2721: Effects on Enhancing Hemopoietic Reconstitution and Increasing Survival Following Exposure to Ionizing Radiation
WR-2721 is one of the most effective exogenous radioprotectants discovered (1, 2). Mechanisms through which WR-2721 protects cells from radiation-induced lethality include free radical scavenging, hydrogen ato...

Proliferative Effects of a Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (rG-CSF) on Highly Enriched Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells
Human multipotential and committed hematopoietic progenitor cells require the presence of specific glycoproteins, termed “colony-stimulating factors” (CSFs) for survival, clonal proliferation, and differentiat...

Biological Activities of Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (rhG-CSF) and Tumor Necrosis Factor: In Vivo and In Vitro Analysis
Within the family of hematopoietic growth factors, murine G-CSF was first recognised as acting predominantly upon mature neutrophils and neutrophil progenitors, stimulating murine neutrophil colonies character...

Identification of the Avian Myeloblastosis Virus Genome
In addition to neoplasias caused in chickens by helper viruses of the avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) complex, acute myeloblastic leukemia is induced by a defective leukemogenic component. To identify the leu...
